May photo: butterflies

During a photographic rally in the Regional Park of the Southeast, in Madrid, we found these two butterflies. The sun was already low in the sky and illuminated the butterflies. I stood against the light, so that the sunlight illuminated from behind, and I added a bit of fill flash. I took several pictures, with different flash intensities, to ensure optimal illumination.

This photograph was the winner of the photo contest as a result of that rally.
